I can't stand reading my posts from amsp. I get into perma-shudder mode.

regarding moonkids -- yea that whole thing was a big controversey. much more intrusive than the cabal or junta shit because it actually caused onica to stop posting completely. which sucked because she was a decent source of information. oh well. |

moonkids was a pretty cunning guy. Slight psychological problem perhaps, but he had a brain on him.

she was a friend of Courtney Love who was a big fan of SP, and she was always really obnoxiously rude to most people. Then again, people were jerks to her alot too, people usually thought she was lying about knowing Courtney and Billy. She was one of the more interesting characters around at the time.

If she was a friend of Courtney it doesnt surprise me she was obnoxious and rude. Thing is she only knew the stuff she did because she was mates with billy's fuck buddy.

my oldest pumpkins internet memory is finding people on the tape traders network and getting piles of mcis-era (and weezer pinkerton era) cassettes in the mail. the early days of internet cassette trading were very confusing and really didnt sound very good but it definitely felt more special than just downloading some show the day after it happened.

my oldest online memory is discussing PI in depth and why certain songs were left off SD. that irc guy named pissant liked pissant better than geekusa...and we used to go back and forth about it constantly! i also remember arguing endlessly with people about the disarm rockin' version from vieuphoria and mtv awards being >>>>> the album version (I STILL THINK ITS A BETTER WITH A TAD OF ANGER THROWN IN).
I also remember this lame ritual of people in the chat rooms typing line after line of song lyrics, alternating with other members. lol...then sometimes we would invade other band forums...and just start posting pumpkins lyrics. LOL. i remember we pissed off a bunch of pussies in a weezer forum once because we were doing silverfuck. hahaha...so lame. then later when the mcis song titles came out, they blew my mind. they sounded so strange and un-pumpkinsish. just like zeitgeist did. |

i think when the mcis song titles started coming out is when i first became a part of the online pumpkins community. I remember that's how i found out the band was going to be on SNL, the release date of mcis, and other such stuff. before that I don't know how the hell i found out anything about them, lol!
I was living off campus at the time and used to walk there everyday to the computer lab (no computer of my own back then) to see what was going on with listessa. I'd spend hours there reading and writing crap about sp. My friends thought I'd lost my mind. It was that same computer lab where I found out the news about Jimmy and Jonathan ODing. what a bummer of a day that was... |

still don't completely know why there is such a strong rivalry between fans maybe it was the affinity of intensity (sp) vs the laziness that weezer represented even now it'd be nice to get all gushy with one another like we used to chatting all night about everything and anything, all of it with the most importance MCIS song titles did seem out of place when they were first released... they seemed too playful, exaggerated and even iconic it wasn't the obtuse and obscure but when the album hit I photocopied the lyrics booklet onto 8.5X11 sheets and carried it around me everywhere..... just the other day I came across track titles of the "leaked" double adore album that had the marilyn manson duet..... lol Autumn Nocturne had turned out to not be the gloomy song I had imagined it to be. anyone remember the leaked "anaphase" artwork.... soo many years so much time spent don't regret a moment of it. |

I do recall the huge blowout when pictures of Billy's house made the rounds, and at several points when certain people had located his AOL e-mail address or whatever. Back in the days of the WWWild West you could use that awesome "address locator" feature to "connect the dots" so to speak. I've never thought to go look back at the Archives to read my past postings onto SP newsgroups, though. And I think that perhaps I don't want to... I also bought a lot of those cassette bootlegs/rarity compilations from the tradelist, for $5 a piece or some such from a guy who called himself "Osaka." The quality of could be quite bad but I would blast them from my stereo anyway. Quote:
BTW, did anyone here actually have the *per hour* online access that sent the bills of many a student's parents into debtor's hell? I recall how all those ISP horror stories would appear on shows like Oprah. Last edited by stumpycat : 06-01-2007 at 02:56 AM. |

SP AOL Chat back in the 90s owned souls. What a fun yet fucked up community.
I posted as SP1007 and remember talking to NiltiakSP, RAWK1979 [I met up with her at a concert 2 years ago], ZeroGirl33 [still talk to her on occasion], and a few others. XSpaceboy1 was Sam Manzie. It was weird hearing about him in school and thinking "dude, I know that guy." For those of you who don't know, Sam Manzie [XSpaceboy1] was a AOL SP Chat regular who basically raped and killed an 11 year old who was selling candy door to door. It was a catalyst in a nationwide awareness of the danger of selling candy door to door. Eventually a lot of clique-ish ape-types took over and all the fun ended. then, around 1999, the O-Board [official board on smashingpumpkins.com[ came into existence. I posted as Apathy2007. It was such a horrific time in my life. So many of us became engrossed in that whole board. I know people who got married to, pregnant by and in awful real-life relationships with people they met on the SP O-boards. I actually just met one of the people I met on that board in Chicago when I visited a couple of months ago. How bizarre. I wish I could list all the names of people I remember, but I am sure I would forget people and the list of those I do remember is far too long. I remember the big "Methusela" craze. It was the legendary "song that is rumored to exist but no one has heard it." Now it's on my iPod. Bizarre. And there there were the pre-mp3 days when you actually had to shell out $30 for an import of the Disarm single just so you could own and listen to a copy of "Dancing in the Moonlight." Boy. the memories. How time has flown by. Emo was including the most depressing song lyrics to SP you could find in your MB user name signature so that you could express your true, sad feelings to the online world and garner attention from other people. Those were also the days of hundreds of dollars used for phone cards so you could call the online friends you loved the mostest! |

remember how you could get bots for AOL chat rooms and play SP Lyrics scramble? Like .. you would type in the lyrics or the name of a song in the bot and it would spit them up scrambled in the room and the first person to type them correctly would win.
and someone above mentioned the chat room singing a song one line at a time. i remember that. i also remember the big UPGRADE to AOL 2.0, lol. Then 4.0 came out and you could use COLORED text. Boy, that really got people creaming their shorts, lol. I vaguely remember a girl named Liz who "stole" the AOL name I wanted, Spiteface. She was hot. Onica .... she was legit? I was one of those people who never believed her. Bummer. I remember when I basically forced someone to give me Jimmy's AOL/AIM user name years ago [pre-machina]. he rndomly signed on maybe 2 months later and, in conversation, told me he was cleaned up and re-joining the band about 2 months before he re-joined the band. nobody believed me. : ( he seemed concerned with what the fans thought about him and asked me more questions than i asked him. it was a nice conversation. it was nice hopping on the SP bandwagon in 1993 and seeing the whole thing unfold, especially online. we were obssessed nutjobs! |

onica was the real deal. she was in a story on courtney love in the issue of spin w/ the "jungle" tsp cover and the flourescent light bulb pix inside (actually, that might've been the 'omg cl's computer got haX0red' story). saw her at the 2 bc solo shows in san francisco, too (w/ an after-show pass). she was nice to people who were nice to her, and a bitch to people who said she was full of shit and constantly harrassed her. go figure.

anyone remember the siamese dreamers? I met so many of the most influential people in my teenage years from that list.
Luvs SP and Gishydream were my first two long term relationships, Spazeboy17(beau) flew in from iowa to goto the 3/2/00 signing in boston with me and to the lupos show. Ocorrigan was my first best friend(she masqueraded as a guy to get all the girls in the AOL SP private room to fall in love with her). ::sigh:: ::cues song about memories:: |
